We wanted to stay in a palace and it is beautiful. The beds are super comfortable. It is a bit of a walk to restaurants and stores, but we had a rental car and wanted a safe spot to park it. Fortunately, Ubers are easy and cheap from here. The breakfast is the best I've ever had! I would definitely choose to stay here again, so quiet.

We are extremely disappointed with our experience at this property. We booked this hotel for our last day of our trip before returning back to Canada, and it was to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. After a 3 hour drive, we were looking forward to a nice relaxing evening at this hotel. Unfortunately, our expectations were not met. As we got to the door, we were greeted poorly - felt judged for being in comfortable attire. The front desk personnel were somewhat friendly. The young woman’s Portuguese seemed to be very poor, so we spoke to her in English instead and this is also because she overheard my daughter and I speaking English. We asked about the restaurant services and if we required a reservation. We were told that we “could.” To our surprise, when we called to make a reservation, just in case, for my daughter’s birthday, the restaurant was FULL! When we got to the room, there was a loud noise coming from the vents. We called it in and were advised that someone would come to check on the issue. We had decided to go for a walk around the property. Upon our return, the noise was still there. We went to reception to ask again about someone checking the vent for us - no one ever came. As a high end property, we expected high value service. There was no acknowledgment of my daughter’s birthday. Paying attention to small details is important, especially when your customers are paying over $300. We were hoping for a better experience and a better sleep. Very disappointing.

Such a beautiful hotel. They make you feel so special. This hotel is very elegant and you are treated like royalty. The breakfast was amazing as was the dinner we had in the hotel restaurant.
